I got the Optus 80GB per month plan on a contract because of the high speeds. Anywhere in the city or near the train stations I'm hitting 50-60 Mbps speeds, while at home it's barely 1 mbps (if lucky) and downlomostly thead is 50kbps.

My area does not have NBN yet, is that the reason for the terrible speeds? Seriously, it takes 2 minutes to load a webpage and often gets disconnected.

Do you know if a coverage check was performed when you signed up to the plan?

Have you checked out network coverage map? It's currently showing some planned work on a tower and an outage on another in that area so that may very well be the reason why.

Suggestion would be to monitor those and once restored to see if the problem persists.
